You can try gfxCardStatus

gfxCardStatus is a free menu bar application that keeps track of which graphics card your MacBook Pro is using at any given time.

You can force a Macbook Pro to use the Integrated intel graphic via gfxCardStatus

.

The above does not work on Sierra and beyond, HOWEVER, this version works on High Sierra:

gSwitch (macOS 10.12 or newer)

gSwitch lets you set which graphics card your macbook pro can use, mainly to prevent it from using the discrete graphics card
